One of my FAVORITE GaGa songs I feel her lyrics in every song she writes. Besides, fame can be internal too, right? Which is why she could write about fame before even being famous. It's blatently meth, covering her eyes - but she compares it to fame. The only clue that it's originally written about meth are the specific lyrics that don't make much sense in other songs.īesides, look at the cover of her album and notice what's on her sunglasses or "crystal sunglasses" as she calls them. Whether it be Fame and the paparazzi, crazy girlfriends or drugs. Blasting it - Lighting the shit up - it's quite "fun" in her mind" She's saying that as meth, you can't stop loving it for anyone. "Don't stop for anyone, we'll blast it but we'll still have fun!" Nobody will stop doing meth for anyone. She's probably a meth addict herself, or at least was while writing and recording the fame.
She's talking about smoking meth while she records her album. "Real good we dance in the studio" Again dancing refers to smoking the meth. Dance and return refers simply to smoking it and allowing it to move back to your mouth. Yellow is the color of meth once it is burnt. "Shadow is burnt, yellow, dance and return" Meth burns onto the pipe creating the "shadow" of itself on the pipe. "I'll be your girl backstage at your show" refers to meth is always there to pick you up when you need it. "Leather and jeans, garage glamorous" Leather is big in the meth scene and with denim it really sets the scene for the subculture of meth users.] This is why she sets the tone of the song so beautiful, yet dark.because love is deadly, or addiction in this songs case. "There's no other superstar" refers to the fact that you can't love anything more than meth once your hooked (until that boy is mine) Again, she's personifying the drug. As lady gaga see's it, meth is going to follow you once you start doing it until you love it so much. Meth is similar to fame in that you get a big rush from the effects of it and you always feel like you have people putting attention on you. She sort of uses meth in a symbolic form and personifies the drug in this song. I think the true hidden meaning that lady gaga twisted the song from is also about crystal meth. I agree that this song is ultimately open to interpretation in many ways, as that is the way lady gaga intended for people to see her songs. She tells them they will be famous, while they tell her that she will be famous The song is a communication between Lady Gaga and her fans. This is the self-fulfilling prophecy, she is making suggestions to the audience about what she wants them to think of her. In return the people who listen to this song listen to the lyrics that say "Baby you'll be famous" while watching Lady Gaga, as if Lady Gaga is instructing or making a suggestion. The lyrics are in a way a form of communication that says "I care about you". Those lyrics give them hope that they will be "famous" or that Lady Gaga is their biggest fan. Lady Gaga is singing these lyrics to her little monsters, and on a subconscious level is empowering her little monsters. "WE are the crowd, we're c-coming out,got my flash on its true, need that picture of you its so magical, we'd be so fantastico" "Baby you'll be famous chase you down until you love me" "I'm your biggest fan i'll follow you and until you love me" This song was about a connection with her and her monsters. Her main audience was always people who were considered misunderstood, or outsiders.
The lyrics sing a song of enamour of fame and empowering herself and her fans who she dubs "little monsters". I think this song is in a path to a self-fulfilling prophecy.
